Step out your back door onto a wonderful screened, covered porch.
Relax there in privacy in an intimate two-person lounger spa hot tub
and view the 33 acre woodlands back yard. Drink a morning cup of
coffee in the deck chairs or venture out into the yard to enjoy the
swing for two. Ah, the romance of it all!

In Western North Carolina you’ll find an eclectic group of people
from movie stars to mountain folk. And our town is as diverse as its
residents. Our area is the back drop to many movies over the years--
our favorite is The Last of the Mohicans staring Daniel Day-Lewis
with the famous waterfall scene filmed at our local Chimney Rock.

What we love about these Appalachian Mountains is its wealth of
activities. We experience a gentle four seasons here that makes any
time of year perfect for a visit. If you love to shop for the
unusual, there are fantastic antique stores, numerous galleries,
unique boutique shops,and amazing handcrafted goods. This region is
host to numerous festivals filled with music, dance, arts and crafts.
There are family events, live theater, concerts, cinemas and museums.
For golfers, there are numerous courses.There’s skiing, hiking,
white water rafting, miniature golf, fishing, wildlife viewing, rock
climbing, you name it! Check out the new Fun Depot for a wealth of
indoor fun.

When George Vanderbilt had the entire world to select a site for his
home in the 1890’s, he choose Asheville to built his 250 room French
Chateau. Famous for being the largest private residence in the United
States, you can spend a full day wandering through the mansion, its
grounds, greenhouses, winery, restaurants and shops. Just outside the
gates of the Biltmore House is Biltmore Village. These quaint
buildings and streets have enchanting shops and restaurants to
delight you. Our favorite is The New Morning Gallery/Bellagio, the
largest handcrafted gallery in the Eastern United States.

Sightseeing along the Blue Ridge Parkway is outstanding with many
hiking trails and waterfalls along the way. One direction you’ll find
Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi, and the
other direction is Mount Pisgah. Both areas offer a delightful
restaurant with extreme views! And between stops, you can shop for
amazing local hand crafted goods at the Folk Art Center. There are
nature walks and hiking almost everywhere you go including the
Mountain-To-Sea Trail.

These ancient Appalachian Mountains is home to mountain music and
dancing. Several times a week you can test your dancing shoes at
Contra Dancing with live upbeat Celtic music. Arrive half an hour
early and someone will teach you the easy steps. Just pick up the
local Mountain Express free weekly paper which lists 100’s of events
happening every week. Or look at the Citizen Times Friday issue of
Take Five for their listing of what’s happening.

Nearby, Black Mountain is a quaint town full of unique shops or you
can visit Hot Springs and sit in the outdoor spas filled with the hot
underground water. This is the first stop for hikers who begin hiking
the Appalachian Trail from Georgia. It’s fun to learn their trail
names and hear about their adventures. You can make a day trip to
Lake Fontana (where they filmed the movie Nell with Jody Foster) and
visit the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest of astoundingly huge ancient
old growth trees. Or take a trip over to Cherokee and play at
Harrah’s Casino.

We promise that you won’t be bored! When you’re exhausted after a
day’s exploring, know that you can come home to a hot tub, massage
chair, and rest in your comfy king size bed! Just let us know when
you plan to come and we’ll have your cedar chalet ready for you!
